True, 15 slots actually. They'r trying to get closer to big cities, since BVA is 80km from Paris.

But I'm sure the routes opened at CDG will bring down BVA demand, unfortunately.

I was kind of surprised they weren't awarded any slots at Paris Orly (ORY), especially how its much closer to the city center than Charles De Gaulle. Though I can't say I'm surprised they're going to CDG, what with that low cost terminal there.

ORY is crowded and lots of Low-cost companies there on the same routes as Ryanair. The airport developpement is very very limited since it's totally surrounded by a dense-populated area and it's closed from 23pm to 6am. They'r also doing a total overhaul of the two terminals and for so, have closed a lot of aircraft parking spots and boarding gates, reducing traffic capacity. I think things will stay like that until 2017.

CDG has no limits at all, and it's very well connected to Paris Center and any other main city by air/rail/road. ORY only has a rail station and it's very expensive (7 euros for a 5 minutes trip by rail, pretty expensive compare to 14 euros for a 1h bus trip to go to BVA).

As I'm working at BVA, I hope one of these days Ryanair will finally establish a base there, this will pretty much save our jobs, against ORY or CDG ^^
